Goal

Short-term– Check your online profile on one of the search engines listed below and study this in retrospect to another educator’s online profile. Study someone who has a well established online profile such as Angela Maiers, Silvia Tolisano, Dr. Alec Couros, Will Richardson, David Warlick, or others. You can even check my profile. What did you observe about their digital footprints? What are key words and messages associated with them? What message and key words do you want to be associated with you and how will you get there?

This is the goal I’ve been waiting for as it’s one I’ve been promoting among my local community for so long. I’ll probably put this on TESL Toronto’s site (in addition to the previous post about #30Goals), but if you don’t mind, reference this in one of my workshops, cited back to you, of course. It’s such an important learning curve for teachers to go through to remain effective.
